Ant - Pretty Broad lyrics

[Intro] If you will s** my soul, I will lick your funky...nipples! [Verse 1] Step off the front porch, let the day come forth Unsure of how much, but you know you want more And what you've been gettin' isn't really fittin' With the images and visions that used to tease the kitten Fast forward to the present Waitin' tables in some restaurant for the rent But the check can't stretch past next week's breadth It's a prison with invisible walls and cheap cigarettes God bless the populace, take the untaxed tips Trade for the firewater, slip through the wax lips Retreat into a pattern of defeat With the wake, work, eat, sleep, die, and repeat This, must, be the other half Of what was discussed in one of them missed cla**es Point it out, circle it, and hit it raw So it's not misinterpreted Let's try to keep it pretty broad [Chorus] Let's try to keep it pretty broad I gotta keep it pretty broad Let's try to keep it pretty broad I need to keep it pretty broad [Verse 2] Step out the front yard, always on guard Thinkin' 'bout what year it was when it got hard Take it back before the bar fights and cop cars Take it back before the c**aine and rock stars When the track fades, you cascade back to the ma** grave Of the overflowing ashtray You fight love with a light buzz in a nightclub Like you tryna figure out why your life s**s Every day feels just like today does Makeup to cover up the breakups and pay stubs Your local pub has a happy hour special Where your daddy power issues can be studied by professionals It's difficult to listen When poor decision making dictates your situation's position Grow a backbone if you chose the path And go hold your gla** up and act like you know the half [Chorus] Let's try to keep it pretty broad I gotta keep it pretty broad Let's try to keep it pretty broad I need to keep it pretty broad [Verse 3] Stepped into traffic, it's the princess with the mask The last aggressive pacifist Wavin' a flag that she kept hidden 'cause the nametag is blank if it doesn't say "Victim" Somebody save the martyr from her self-made spark to take apart her breaking heart Either show it to the kids or get it away Throw it off a bridge, let it live on a riverbank And when it's found, I'ma make her my wife Everything that I write somehow relates to her life Every time she's around, my gut says to run 'Cause I can't shake my mind off the bu*t of her gun And when she pulls out to aim It makes me wish that the flower wasn't full-out insane Dear God, don't let me get started on Another pretty broad song about another pretty broad [Chorus:] Let's try to keep it pretty broad I gotta keep it pretty broad Let's try to keep it pretty broad I need to keep it pretty broad [Outro] My girl goes crazy 'cause she knows how it hurts (Let's try to keep it pretty broad) Ask her to save me but go save yourself first (I gotta keep it pretty broad) Be so amazing if the chemical's works (Let's try to keep it pretty broad) Shows all the ladies that I found me a nurse (I need to keep it pretty broad) That girl goes crazy 'cause she knows how it burns (Let's try to keep it pretty broad) Ask her to save me but it made myself worse (I gotta keep it pretty broad) Be so amazing to abandon the search (Let's try to keep it pretty broad) Show all the babies how the world really turns (I need to keep it pretty broad)
